Scandium International Mining Corp. (TSX:SCY) owns an 100% interest in the Nyngan Scandium Project, located in New South Wales, Australia, approximately 500 kilometers northwest of Sydney. The Company completed a definitive feasibility study for the project in May 2016 and is focused on advancing the Nyngan Scandium Project to construction, with the objective of being the first company to achieve production of scandium oxide and aluminium-scandium master alloy from a primary scandium mine. Scandium International has completed all required governmental approvals with the objective of commencing site works in 2018 (subject to financing) and scandium production in late 2019. The Company also owns an 100% interest in the Honeybugle Scandium property, an exploration property some 20km from the Nyngan Scandium Project in NSW, Australia. The Kiviniemi property in Eastern Finland addresses an SCY objective to find a potentially significant scandium production source in Europe that we believe will be welcomed by European markets. This property benefits from high quality, well documented grass roots exploration work done by GTK, which gives us a faster start in our search for that European production asset. Equally important, we see positive early potential to address mineral grade concerns with low cost, on-site, effective upgrade techniques, which we intend to pursue with test work and our scandium processing know how. The Kiviniemi property represents a medium grade scandium resource target that has remained unrecognized and overlooked by exploration work, largely due to the absence of the more commonly sought-after minerals in the region, specifically copper, nickel and cobalt.

NanoStruck Technologies Inc. is a Canadian Company with a suite of technologies that remove molecular sized particles using patented absorptive organic polymers. These versatile biomaterials are derived from crustacean shells or plant fibers, depending on requirements of their usage. Acting as molecular sponges, the nanometer-sized polymers are custom programmed to absorb specific particles for remediation or retrieval purposes. These could be to clean out unwanted materials like acids, hydrocarbons, pathogens, oils and toxins in water via its NanoPure solutions or conversely, to recover wanted and precious metal particles in mine tailings, such as gold, silver, platinum, palladium and rhodium using the Company’s NanoMet solutions. By using patented modifications to conventional technologies and adding polymer-based nano-filtration, the Company offers environmentally safe NanoPure solutions for water purification. The Company uses Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines as a benchmark for water quality and safety to conform to acceptable agricultural or drinking water standards in jurisdictions where the technology is used. Additionally, the Company’s technology can be used to recover precious and base metals from mine tailings, which are the residual material from earlier mining activities. By retrieving valuable metals from old tailing dumps, the Company’s NanoMet solutions boosts the value of existing mining assets and reduces the need for new, costly and potentially environmentally harmful exploration and mining. The company’s NanoPure technology was first deployed to treat wastewater from a landfill site in January 2012 in Mexico. It has since been successfully treating and producing clean water there that’s certified by Conagua, the federal water commission of Mexico. The Company’s current business model is based on either selling water remediation plants or leasing out units and charging customers on a price per litre basis with a negotiated minimum payment per annum. For processing mine tailings, the value of precious metal recovered is shared with tailing site owners on a pre-agreed basis.
Viking Gold Exploration Inc. is a gold-focused, Canadian mineral exploration company. It is a reporting issuer in the Provinces of Ontario, Newfoundland and Labrador, British Columbia and Alberta.
Everyone involved in construction in this part of the country knows about how Trap Rock Industries has influenced the industry. Because of its extraordinary growth in a relatively short time, most would guess that the company has been around forever -
